It is really amazing that "scientists" aren´t
able to make basic calculations resting on observed facts. It is refreshing
to read what John Everett states below.
There is hope as long as there are some true scientists left who refuse compromizing
with basic scientific methods (They will for sure never become a majority
as far as I can judge)

News/McClatchy News John
Everett , a former scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
who's now a consultant on ocean issues, told the subcommittee that the oceans
will remain alkaline even as they absorb more carbon dioxide. Everett said
that rainwater, which absorbs carbon dioxide as it's falling, is 100 times
more acidic than ocean water is. He also assured beachgoers that their feet
won't dissolve when they enter the water. "It doesn't
look like it is a problem," Everett said. "I don't see damage." Barry
said Everett was engaging in a game of semantics, adding that if the oceans
are becoming less alkaline they are becoming more acidic. "All the predictions
I have seen, even the more conservative, say we will see significant changes," Barry
said.

Dr. John Everett was the only one of five witnesses that knew what he was
talking about: It is still safe to take our kids to the beach.

Glad to hear it! I have to give the man credit for standing up there and
saying his interpretation of the science!

The testimony of Dr. John Everett make it clear that semantic term "ocean
acidification" presents no danger to the Oceans.

Senators on Oceanic panel very eager to shift focus of testimony
away from the science based facts of Dr. John Everett.

The fact that the
hearing today are about "ocean acidification" and
not "ocean alkainity show a junk science alarmist bias.

Hmmm...Panelist
Dr. John Everett says geologic evidence does not support that #ocean acidification
is not a significant threat.

Dr. Everett said, although he doesn't believe
ocean acidification is a major threat he's not a CO2 advocate and we must
clean up our act!

Not until your feet dissolve stepping in water will there
be anything to worry about. These are the words of an actual scientist.

Source So Fox and CNN can give equal time to the two 'sides' and people
will not have to worry. And hey after that, they can just keep their feet
out of the fricken water, n'est pas? As long as 'consultant' scientists
can be bought, there will never be a thing to worry about.
